A displacement measurement apparatus includes a first diffraction grating transmitting light from a light source and producing diffracted beams including first to third diffracted beams output in different directions; a second diffraction grating movable together with an object to be measured, provided in a plane parallel to the first diffraction grating, and reflecting the first to third diffracted beams transmitted through the first diffraction grating; a first photodetector receiving the first and second diffracted beams diffracted by the second diffraction grating; a second photodetector receiving at least the third diffracted beam transmitted through the first diffraction grating; and a calculation unit calculating displacement of the object in a first direction in accordance with the beams received by the first photodetector, and displacement of the object in a second direction, different from the first direction, in accordance with the beam received by the second photodetector.
